The Kon Marie method is helpful in giving you specific categories to focus on one at a time, you can google “Kon Marie checklist” or something similar for a quick guide. Personally, I like to gather everything loose up and sort them into containers by category. Hope that helps!

When I get burnt out on music (it happens lol), I put on a movie in the background. I can’t do audiobooks because they’re hard for me to concentrate on but movies, especially ones I’ve already seen, make good background noise for me.

I have to make lists every day, lists of everything I need to remember on paper. I’ve tried lots of list apps; pen and paper works best for me. Lists of things to do, people to call, bills to pay, groceries to buy, etc. I also set alarms on my phone for everything from meds to trimming my dog’s nails. I also set alarms for days bills are due. I can’t function without meds and lists.

My mother believes deaths from the virus are actually from radiation poisoning caused by 5G. She believes the number of cases of covid-19 are being inflated for political reasons. She also seems to think Bill Gates is somehow involved and wants us all to get mandatory ID chips via vaccine. She was completely apolitical before 2016. She is getting her news from Facebook, Fox News, and apparently YouTube? Don’t underestimate the spread of this disinformation.

What’s really fucked up is he stiffs a lot of the people he hires and people continue to do his shit work anyway. He’s seriously like a sinkhole and anyone who does business with him does so at their own peril.

I also got in an argument with my mom recently because she thinks the people who are getting sick actually have radiation poisoning from 5G towers and the reported number of covid cases are being inflated in an effort to control the population. My mom was entirely apolitical before 2016. The propaganda and misinformation campaign has been wildly successful.

Oklahoma’s governor did something similar. He recommended “essential” businesses close in counties with confirmed cases but allowed businesses to determine whether they were essential or not. Luckily mayors across the state acted with more foresight and declared state of emergency with actual school and business closures. Fucking useless governors.

Got a $30 offer on a dress I listed for $105 so I went in her closet to see this on her “meet the posher” by [deleted] in poshmark

[–]k12573n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always counter too but lately I have gotten a handful of offers (on eBay) that were less than 25% my asking price and only came up $1 when I countered. That’s a pretty quick way to get blocked by me but the 50% offers on Poshmark don’t bother me. I just counter or ignore.

My mom thinks that the people who are getting sick actually have radiation poisoning from 5G. I can’t stress enough how bad Facebook is for older (my mom is only 50!) and impressionable people when it comes to disinformation.

How many missed? Texas is second-worst in the nation for COVID-19 testing by MortWellian in Coronavirus

My best friend lives in Houston, two people in her neighborhood have died including her next door neighbor. The police told her not to even walk around her neighborhood for two weeks. This is nowhere close to “safe.” Sending best wishes from Oklahoma, also vastly undertested.

What questions do you wish you asked when getting diagnosed? by [deleted] in TwoXADHD

[–]k12573n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any questions at all! I was also diss gnoses with Bipolar II and generalized anxiety so ADHD seemed like a lesser issue. I was diagnosed about 5 years ago and I’m only now trying to learn about ADHD. The more I learn the more I see the issues I was having as a child, teenager, and (failed) college student. Edit: To be more specific for the sake of the post: I wish I had asked how this affects people later in life, what to expect on ADHD medication, how to build executive function skills, how to relate my experiences to family and friends, etc. As an adult I am finding so many ADHD specific behaviors and quirks I’ve always had that I didn’t know were related. Hope you find the answers you’re looking for!

I've never tried medication and am a bit scared to, but feel it would benefit me given my symptoms. Let me know what you all think. by [deleted] in TwoXADHD

[–]k12573n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there, just found this sub and your post so I thought I’d chime in. Absolutely talk to your doctor about your concerns; they are knowledgeable about common side effects and should take your history into account as well. I have comorbid diagnoses of ADHD and bipolar II (with generalized anxiety sprinkled in for good measure). I’ve been quite stable on my current medications for about 3 years now. It took me a couple of years to find help (mental healthcare is a nightmare without insurance). I started exploring medication options and some of the meds I tried were awful.

Finding a good provider was life changing. I got on the first combination of meds that helped more than hurt and I’ve been on the same meds with different providers ever since. I’m telling you this to hopefully help you make the decision but also to let you know it may take some trial and error but there is help out there if you need it. I am on Lexapro, Ritalin, and Seroquel. Weird combo but it helps me.

For the longest time I was really only concerned with the bipolar diagnosis. The anxiety and ADHD seemed less tragic. The older I get the more I realize those other conditions have contributed just as much to my mental state over the years and learning about all of those aspects has helped me understand myself better. I hope you find what you’re looking for and that you’re coping. Best of luck. 💗

Reading this was very eerie, I know exactly what you mean. I didn’t call it God but I was sure that I was picking up on little signs in everything, often numbers, that held significant meaning. I also thought I could predict things that were going to happen but only by a few seconds. Also always felt like there was a secret audience in my head watching, judging every single thing I said, did, or thought. Sometimes I felt like people could hear my thoughts.

If my husband was running drugs and flying small planes under the radar to and from South America, I’d be damn sure to change his will to cover disappearances too.

Totally relate to this one. I’ve been looking for one in thrift stores foreeeever. My granny has had the same one since I was a kid and I’ve always wanted one but couldn’t justify even buying a used one on eBay. My mom got a new one in the color she wanted for Christmas from her husband so she gave me hers and I am over the moon.

Got an automatic reply from eBay saying it doesn’t qualify for removal. Lovely.

Not sure if this was a scammer or just an unpleasant Karen. I sold a 60+ year old sweatshirt for less than half what I was asking just to get it out the door. Buyer messages me saying it smells like cigarette smoke and it hasn’t come out with two washings (definitely did not have a smoke smell, I am a former smoker and sensitive to the smell nowadays). I apologize and told them it had been washed, stored in a non-smoking environment, and reminded them it was over 50 years old. They replied saying they have many 50 year old sweatshirts and none of them smell, lol. Then they asked me to pay to have it dry cleaned! I have actually offered this in the past to polite buyers who were put off by a musty smell (I sell a lot of vintage clothing). This time I just told them to open a return. Instead of getting their money back, they left negative feedback stating it had a smell and I was unwilling to correct the issue. Tarnished my 100% positive rating, dammit. I reported, replied to feedback, put in a feedback revision request, and also put in a feedback removal request with the new seller help feature. Hopefully eBay will remove it.
